Completely Gutted Our Laundry Room

[@marylandsworld3428]

I love that if you’re handy you can make a show online that pays for you to have a better and better house just by doing the transformation on video. What a world we live in.

[@SteveBoyer10]

and then you move to a new house when your current house is all fixed up, and further profit off your improvements

[@lily824]

Gotta be handy, have tools, have camera equipment, have a good camera presence/personality, editing skills, and a whole lot of time because filming and editing make the process longer. It's a lot of work and almost never happens as quick as you want - it is an awesome world with a lot of opportunity, but it takes a lot of hard work, money, and consistency.

[@buiquocduy9518]

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

[@Senwot2000]

This man is an electrician, drywall expert, woodworker, plumber, and probably many other things. I’m impressed.

[@jordangosse9609]

expert is a little far fetched

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

He cut out the bottom of the wall studs, didn't repair it, and just drywalled over it. Amateur hour.

[@reb219]

@@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V 100% ... said he was going to build support... and then didn't.

[@dolfinwriter5389]

And is that wall load bearing? Is so, then you compromised the structural support of everything above it.

[@jeremiahigo6717]

Literally new age this old house. Give this man a show already. He is great at what he does. Wish he lived close I'd take some classes for sure.

[@kenishasmith9834]

😳 I can only dream of a laundry room like this one…. Amazing!!!! Love it.

[@nathanwolff2505]

Dude your video quality is superb! I've been learning so much binging your channel! Video quality is indicative of a multimillion sub channel. Great job!

[@netropolis]

I REALLY appreciate you showing a miscalculation/mistake! Something most of us do all the time... and can't edit out. ALSO amazing job!

[@MrBuildit]

Mistakes make us better

[@robnolte2547]

Secret sink swap, final one definitely looks better! I like the use of formica in this to make the project a bit more budget friendly.

[@DearDarlenee_]

Amazing job, as always! I always appreciate that you breakdown the costs and budget. I feel this is a thing many others don’t include. This helps to get a realistic budget idea for us that diy our home renos as well. Thank you!

[@TheWrightAdvantures]

I have to commend you for making those laminate countertops looks so good! Great job!

[@eh2newman]

Is there no concern for the studs that you chopped off? It is hard to tell at 10:40 if you actually added back support for those studs.

[@ElizabethMcKittrick]

this is what I was wondering. It may only be 2 of them but it still worries me.

[@MattyH73]

Nah all good, he’ll sell the house in 5 years and make it someone else’s problem

[@dontworryaboutit3281]

Yeah that double is load barring....

[@RCCustomRepairs]

Those are usually extras in case you need to cut them off

[@overthetopcargotrailerjerr2278]

no need to worry guys, what's behind the wall stays behind the wall 😜🤪👍🤯

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

You killed it Alex!! This is in my top 3 favorite projects you've done Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@roymoralescastro4574]

I like the way you built everything, all-around your family, your home! I feel identified as you do different things in a solo project, simple but magnificent

[@teesamusiq]

Watching your videos has increased my skills woodworking . I m actually from South AFRICA 🇿🇦 . Now I've became a well known handyman and making money out of this❤

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

Looking great! I love the confidence you give to us home owners that want to do renovations ourselves.

[@MrBuildit]

Thanks so much!

[@gia1150]

If only demolition and construction was really this fast lol I love it 🥰🥰🥰

[@7swild875]

Those studs are now Bluetooth. Great work showing people you don’t have to replace stuff you cut off. 🤘

[@JellowCat]

are those vertical wood things that you cut off to change the plumbing around and didn't replace the same that you're hanging the wall cabinets off of?

[@theweekendbuilder]

Love it man, keep up the good work! Feels like you are the only one who gives the ACTUAL cost to do something like this.

[@Casey388]

Love how it turned out. Also gotta love seeing something so close to home. Those Marshalltown products are made just down the road from me.

[@gailedwards9829]

I really love the final reveal. Would love to make my laundry room look like that.

[@Tdub66]

Thanks for the detailed information on materials you’re using to complete the jobs.

[@TMichael1415]

Big fan of your work. Wish I could be half as handy as you are.

[@talram3347]

You make all this look so easy, well done mate

[@MrBuildit]

Thanks 👍

[@terristivers6439]

I want all of your tools and a lesson on how to work with each of them! I want to do a few things on my own because I don't want to pay for labor. Please keep teaching! Love it!

[@kevinzschach4824]

Great job man!! Love the after. I'm impressed with the workshop organization.

[@sewingstoryprojects6178]

Dumb question - for the studs that you cut the bottom off of, were you going to build them back after the plumbing?

[@dolfinwriter5389]

Another dumb question--did you update your dryer outlet to 4-prong would you were at it? (Which requires running a new cable from breaker box) Or was yours already updated?

[@tricia8727]

I liked before i've even seen the whole video bc i know it's going to be AWESOME! Keep up the good work 👏 👏👏👏👏

[@dyrectory_com]

You work efficiently! 👏🏻

[@adriennedull332]

Beautiful laundry room! I'd like to do laundry there! The counter top looks so nice I thought it was marble, til I watched the video!

[@elizabethCarlse1088]

This is so helpful and I love the money breakdown at the end

[@Freedomrenovations]

killin it brotha ! You inspired me to chase my youtube dream, love all the projects you do !

[@patsampson6990]

I really enjoy your videos! The laundry room turned out great, wonderful layout. I don't love the shelves, don't hate 'em just too chunky for my taste. Keep your content coming, I'll keep watching! Yea Flex Seal!

[@warchie3702]

Can you do a house tour of all the projects that you've done so far?

[@Brittany_Thurman]

Give this man his own show he deserves it!!!!

[@brics6873]

Great job. You did a lot of work in this laundry room

[@shanaproctor100]

Gorgeous!! Laundry wouldn't be a chore in that room.

[@tiredgoblinboi]

I wish we could do this in our laundry room. Having to do a lot of work to utilize space with the layout of the house.

[@elizabethhealey5609]

wow the laundry room look beautiful i love ,🤩 and you did amazing job , and laundry room😇

[@scottmac386]

Great video! Shows just how much is involved in the whole process along with the budget. Would be interesting to see in addition how much it would cost if you just went out and hired someone to do it. Talk about DYI motivation.... Thanks for your instruction.

[@jenniferbecnel439]

Came out great! What a jammed packed video!

[@MrBuildit]

Right ?! No boring spots. Lol

[@GaryRodeo]

Can you still access the supply lines and vent to the washer and dryer?

[@hughes3947]

😬

[@mattc688]

And access to emergency water shut off?

[@jeebs2002]

Awesome design and good finish. Thanks for the video.

[@arth.4196]

Hola, What did you do to re-support the 2x4's you cut to run the New Plumbing ?

[@willtaylor9533]

im with you.... what was the plan with the floating wall studs....

[@epplonia]

I actually rewinded a couple times to find out, had the exact same question. I'm pretty confident he didn't do anything...

[@jeremys3174]

Bluetooth studs.. I don't think structural but I'm sure he'll have some cracking in a year..

[@dadlife8289]

I stopped a few times right as he put on the drywall, he didn't do anything with the cut studs. Alex needs to step up his game or he's going back to work as an RT

[@danielallen2000]

Saws all blade didn’t pinch… probably not a load bearing wall

[@marcberm]

Love it!!! I don't know if those bendy straw drainpipes meet code though (at least so I've been told by professional plumbers when I dared to try and use one myself).

[@lukecage5932]

Same here. I used one on a DIY job a few years ago. When we sold the house in 2020 the inspector said it had to come out because it wasn’t up to code. It worked fine, so if you’re not planning to sell your house anytime soon I wouldn’t worry about using one.

[@denniscordova9920]

I'm a plumber, and you're correct, not a legal fitting.

[@bernardbook3937]

Thank you this is what I was waiting for to do in my new home.

[@applejaxs3255]

I know you said complete but I really appreciate you took out your the old floor !!!!

[@cltransler]

Looks amazing! Another job well done.

[@PorscheCaymanB]

Great job man! Makes me want to take on another project!

[@MrBuildit]

Do it.

[@terrenceray7137]

Oh I understand so what do you have plan next ?????but good idea you try made plan for add to basement project soon

[@Javie2800]

Love it ! Appreciate the cost breakdown!!! keep it up bro !!

[@maloriestott7608]

I really like how you do the price break down. It looks so nice!!

[@ajablonska82]

Beautiful work. Well done.

[@Gr00mey]

Greta vid, a little tip we do over her in the Uk when tiling a floor. Get a scrap bit of tile place it face down and cut the archs, door frame (we use a multi tool/oscillating tool). That way the tile will slide under and be a much nice finish :)

[@danielallen2000]

Try 44.9 deg on the saw instead of 45.1. Gap will be in the back of the joint instead of the show edge!

[@brianfletcher7993]

Looks great. Curious where you put the cut off valves for the washing machine. Inside and at the back of the sink cabinet?

[@tmac3773]

I'd like to see the part (my favorite part of any laundry area) is trying to hook up the washer and dryer under the cabinet and what not hahah

[@The35AD]

This is so dope and satisfying

[@kigeerdink6662]

Awesome job

[@ebonijohnson4442]

Always love your content!

[@jasonporeda9303]

So, I love your projects and I've been inspired/ learned a lot from you. Our laundry room is much smaller, but I want to do some similar things in ours that you just did. I think it looks amazing! However, I have a question for you... If you need to do maintenance on the dryer/ washing machine, how do you access them with the counter built right on top of them?

[@MrBuildit]

Pull them out from the sides

[@mattc688]

How do you access the hook ups for the washer and dryer

[@staceyroberts8920]

So how do you access the hook ups if you ever need unhook the washer and dryer?

[@chavisflowers1779]

Outstanding ❗️❗️❗️

[@SxmTech101]

This was great

[@kevinf3641]

Awesome transformation!

[@MrBuildit]

Thank you!

[@donnygrahambuilds]

Looks awesome m'man, another solid video - well done!

[@MsStaceybland]

It came out really cute! However, how did you resupport those 2x4s that you cut??

[@natechnic]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't...

[@rsunberg]

He replied to another comment. Apparently it's not a load bearing wall.

[@sycois]

Hats off, bro! You're a beast to do all this yourself! What happened to your video/assistant guy? Got the feeling he wasn't there for this

[@edttt4491]

That is beautiful

[@davidmatyash3963]

Looks amazing! 😯

[@MrBuildit]

thanks

[@kristinrobinson7274]

I watch a lot of your old videos. How do you know how much grit of sandpaper to use?, does it depends on the wood?

[@81SSM]

Where do I find this cape you have around your miter saw?

[@dayk4563]

Any thought in putting tile/backsplash to the left of the sink? If water was going to get on any walls it would be there as well as directly behind the sink.

[@MB-tu2ns]

It's nice but personally I kind of liked the white oak look you had in the cabinets before painting. It just gave you a nice but not drastic contrast instead of everything being completely white, but that's just me.

[@loveppamx5789]

How did u get your washer n dryer to sit flush to the walls with all the pipes, cords and vent duct?

[@mamatosh05]

You're good! What if you if need to pull the washer & dryer out for cleaning, a leak or something.

[@kylegifford2116]

What was that miter saw dust cover over your saw? I want one!!!! Please tell!!

[@BackwardsR3LLIK]

Lools great but what's the sink for? Am i washing incorrectly?

[@zacjohnson19]

Not sure if you'll see this but I want to do ship lap/tongue and groove in my garage. I wanted to do adhesive and brads. Any idea how much weight they might be able to hold?

[@MrBuildit]

my guess as much as the drywall if not more.

[@davidedwards69]

What's the clearance between the counter and the drying rack/pipe? Is it for a specific function socks/underwear? Also what is the benefit of securing the cabinet doors to the face frame and not to the plywood?

[@Ayce_www]

10:40 so not sure but looks like you didn't add any support back for the studs? i am sure its not load bearing but probably not the greatest.

[@Architectwithtools]

I noticed the same thing! That means the upper cabinet is only being supported by the drywall. Hopefully that’s not a load bearing wall also!

[@MrBuildit]

Not a load bearing wall. Cabinets attached to 30 inches above the stone on the left and in the middle

[@Architectwithtools]

Glad to hear that the wall isn’t holding anything above, but you still need to put support back in when you cut studs clean off. Someone watching this and doing as you do may be cutting in to a load bearing wall (something to keep in mind). For a non-load bearing wall, the studs are still carrying the weight of the wall and anything that’s hung on it - cabinets, shelves, laundry, etc. The wall obviously won’t collapse immediately - since it didn’t when you cut the studs off - and there’s a chance you may never have any issues depending how the framing was done, but there’s a good chance that things could begin to sag because the cut off studs are now only being hung from the top plate. As the weight slowly pulls the nails out and the drywall can’t support the weight, you’ll first see cracking and hopefully fix the issue before the wall collapses. This is why it’s common for 2x6s to be used for plumbing walls - so that holes for pipes can be cut through but not compromise the structural integrity of the wall.

[@squeekhobby4571]

Looks great

[@toneloc79]

I want Todo my laundry room Sumday got new front load washer and dryer already

[@MechE11B]

Did you cut out the supports and then drywall over them without building supports for them again?

[@jilldoemer1634]

How did you shore up the studs that were cut?

[@Sleepyjudei]

I'm adding cabinets and a sink to our laundry room. Is that shared vent with the 3 way drain up to code? I was going to do something similar but was thinking I would actually need a separate vent branch for the sink.

[@tstaleywonderfullife]

How do you pull the WD out for service or replacement?

[@mizzzzzme]

You mentioned 1/16th inch spacers/grout lines for all of your tile, but when you were talking about your grout you said it was good for 1/8th inch and up. Why use that grout then? Won't it cause issues?

[@uzmatallat3190]

Great job 👏

[@orangegirl113]

Would love to know all colours for cabinets and walls as well as where did you get your handle pulls!?

[@brocklutz11]

Awesome vid love the videos

[@MrBuildit]

Glad you like them!

[@WorkingAxle]

Dang Mr. Built it! What kinda lights are those that you have in the garage/shop!?!?!?!

[@JonathanPajakLensCulture]

Awesome job man!

[@jamesh7644]

Did you test for any leaks before sealing up that wall?

[@MrBuildit]

2 days worth of monitoring

[@emiliamassot8827]

Maravilloso.👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@S2KV]

Woah, did you somehow thought people wouldn't see that you didn't fix the cut 2 x 4 studs and the gaps on the top of the shiplap boards that meets the ceiling

[@MrEKmal89]

Awesome job as always, however you gotta get ryobi to hook you up with an 18v automatic caulking gun 👍

[@terrenceray7137]

Wow good job as power man calm down so always u made images more everything still no stop

[@atelierkimpara]

You look amazing❗️素晴らしいです❗️✨✨✨🇯🇵
